Galatians:3:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Foolish Galatians ,
who has bewitched you not to obey the truth ,
before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth among you as crucified ?
*
I just want to learn this from you .
Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law ,
or by hearing of faith ?
*
Are you so foolish ?
Having begun in the Spirit ,
are you now completed in the flesh ?
*
Did you suffer so many things in vain ,
if it is indeed in vain ?
*
He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you ,
and works miracles among you ,
does he do it by the works of the law ,
or by hearing of faith ?
*
Even as Abraham "
believed God ,
and it was counted to him for righteousness ."
*
Know therefore that those who are of faith ,
the same are children of Abraham .
*
The Scripture ,
foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith ,
preached the Good News beforehand to Abraham ,
saying , "
In you all the nations will be blessed ." {
Genesis strkjv @
12:3 ;
strkjv @
18:18 ;
strkjv @
22:18 }
*
So then ,
those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham .
*
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse .
For it is written , "
Cursed is everyone who doesn '
t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law ,
to do them ." {
Deuteronomy strkjv @
27:26 }
*
Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident ,
for , "
The righteous will live by faith ." {
Habakkuk strkjv @
2:4 }
*
The law is not of faith ,
but , "
The man who does them will live by them ." {
Leviticus strkjv @
18:5 }
*
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law ,
having become a curse for us .
For it is written , "
Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree ," {
Deuteronomy strkjv @
21:23 }
*
that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith .
